On Memorial Day 2018, in Whiting, New Jersey, at the residence located at 72 Constitution Boulevard, a woman calling herself Shara Michelle showed up to live broadcast on FaceBook the events involving a stand-off between Lee Kenworthy, a widower, and officials from the State child welfare agency and law enforcement.

.

With Lee in the residence was a woman using the name Samantha Brown and Lee’s 2 children by his deceased wife, Shayling.

.

Shara’s reporting seemed to immediately reflect a narrative consistent with known anti-government, anti-child welfare activists and advocates. In fact, Shara indicated she was there because she became aware of what was going on via Lee Kenworthy’s own live feed of the events which anti-government, anti-child welfare activist Merissa Hamilton was featuring on her FaceBook page.

.

Shara claims to have been, and continues to be reporting for something called “Freedom Public Press”. However, to date, I have been unable to document that any such organization exists. Shara has suggested that “they are still working on that”.

In recent days, Shara has been promising some “big reveal” that will blow the top off the Kenworthy story, but she has been stalling after first announcing the “big reveal” was about to happen.

.

We will see what might develop.

.

In the meantime, it appears there has been no mainstream media coverage of the Kenworthy story because such stories play out every day across the country; the State is called upon to become involved, and does, in an egregiously dysfunctional family situation.

.

In the Kenworthy case, the bottom line seems to be that, as might be expected, the kids are being cared for in State custody and Lee Kenworthy is institutionalized because of his mental condition and is also being cared for.

.

The kids and Lee are being constitutionally protected by due process.

.

Shara thinks there is a lot more going on that she needs to report, and she’s working on it. Lots of just the sort of thing the anti-government, anti-child welfare movement likes to play up; conspiracy here, conspiracy there, conspiracy everywhere.

.

Maybe we will hear more as to what Shara thinks she has gotten her hands on with the Kenworthy story and her highly touted Freedom Public Press.

.

Stay tuned!

Update July 21, 2018

.

A super secret source sent me the following information which might provide some insight into the real identity of the alleged reporter known as “Shara Michelle”.

I was also sent this:

See also:

July 25, 2018 – We may never get to the bottom of the mystery Shara has left us with, but I do add this information. The image below includes the cropped view of the man in the above picture with the woman that looks a lot like Shara. He has a FaceBook page and Shara Michelle, Elizabeth Ann Wolf and Terri Donato Allen are all “friends” there, along with a few others that share their various names.

.

Update July 30, 2018 – It now appears John Wolf married Lynne Saragusa who was Elizabeth Ann Saragusa’s sister and Shara Michelle’s mother who married Robert William Donato (see additional details below).

.

Update July 24, 2018J

.

It would be so much easier if Shara would just come out, come clean, and speak in plain English about her problems. Today she posted the following, after she and Samantha indicated I posted a picture of Shara’s mother, which indicates the above is not a picture of her mother.

.

.

Update July 22, 2018

.

I had an exchange with Shara via her FaceBook page this evening and she indicated she was not going to cooperate in developing her story. I asked her about the benefits she might have received in connection with the apparent failure of her husband to pay his taxes, and she simply accused me, again, of libeling her and suggesting I talk to my attorney.

.

.While the above screenshots are not clear, they appear to tie Shara and Jay Austin together as husband and wife as late as 2015.

.

The following is an additional record out of Ocean County, NJ showing the various tax liens filed against Jay Austin for tax years 2006, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014 (years he seems to have been married to Shara), and which liens were renewed in 2018.

.

.

Update July 23, 2018

.

Someone using the FaceBook account of Samantha Brown, Lee Kenworthy’s girlfriend and someone who has been broadcasting Shara’s interviews with Lee, and I had the following exchange via FaceBook Messenger.

Shara has added the following comments to her FaceBook page at:

From: Shara Michelle

Date: July 24, 2018

Time: 3:23 AM MT

Robert Baty: Take what I’m about to say very seriously.

.

Cease and desist.

.

You have caused GREAT suffering to me and my family. You came to my life, I did not seek you. I never left my FB page for any that have come to mine. I have not caused you any harm.

.

On May 28, 2018, I went with my heart to cover a story. with ONLY my heart. Freedom Public Press was formed WELL before May 28, 2018.Years ago I covered a story during classes to report on puppy mills and went under cover into one of the most egregiously inhumane operations.

.

Ultimately this facility was closed down. I was very proud. I cried for the end of that suffering of hundreds of dogs.

.

That was the start of Freedom Public Press.

.

It’s independent, from a rookie, no need for credentials for this story.
.

Before I get into the harm you have caused my life, and the danger you have placed me in, you must be corrected on a few items.

.

Some of my identity not correct, and that of my darling mother and the date of her death and your false damaging accusations are NOT correct. My mother is MY greatest gift. My kindred spirit. I had to watch her suffer and YOU made me revisit this pain in a way that I will never understand. You have not only caused me great pain but you have done so to my family. None of us criminals, none of us deserving. .

.

You have exposed me to a stalker.

.

You have placed the photo of another deceased loved one causing extreme suffering to more family members. You did This and so much more publicly. With no concern for my family or my child. YOU WIN. You made me cry. You made my family cry. Now What Robert Baty? Just another ring on your napkin? You used my copyrighted photos.

.

You got parts of my personal information wrong. .

You got the date, of the death, of my angel wrong. You falsely implied that I committed crimes, you defamed me and caused me harm in my work. You used the photo of the death of another angel in my family.

.

My family will never forgive what you have so heartlessly done to good loving people, good citizens.

With such heartless disregard. You win.. But I’m a fighter. You left that part out. I fought for my life stronger than you will ever be.

.

Here is a photo of the angel you meant to hurt. But SHE IS WAY out of your reach~○ but I want to thank you for one thing, the song I will write about my darling mother that you inspired~☆

.

PS Robert Baty “stay tuned”~◇

Shara’s boyfriend posted the following message in response to Shara’s post:

Earlier, Keith Lentin posted the following message in support of Shara’s support of the False Kenworthy Narrative and anti-government theology:

Update July 25, 2018

Some of the followup:

It appears Shara has been tampering with evidence again, deleting my post above where I included a link to this article. I sent Regina a private message advising her of the link to this article.

.

That Shara Michelle and Elizabeth Ann Wolf appear to have some direct connection, perhaps biological, is further evidenced by the report that they once owned a cheap Florida co-op apartment for a short period of time.

Terri Donato Allen in the posting below to Elizabeth Ann Wolf’s page is indicating that Elizabeth, and by implication, Jennifer Nucci, are her cousins. I’m a little slow at times, and I cannot quite figure out yet where Shara/Sharon Michelle Wolf Donato Austin fits in to the geneology.

.

.

Revised Guess as to Shara’s Mother

.

Based on the latest information from Terri’s page, I am now inclined to think that Terri and Shara are sisters and both of them are cousins to Elizabeth and Jennifer. It also now appears that the older woman in the picture below looks like the recent picture posted by Shara that was intended to represent her mother. In a separate post Terri also indicates that her mother died in September of 2006. Still a lot of details to be worked out if they can be worked out.

.

.

Jennifer Clifford has offered this analysis which seems consistent with the above and “is it”, seems to me:

.

Terri and Shara (Sharon) are sisters.
Elizabeth and Jennifer are sisters.

.

The two pairs were born by siblings…Shara’s aunt, the one in the photo with John Wolf (Shara’s uncle) and Shara’s mom (pictured in a photo on her FB page).

There is reason to believe that Shara’s beau Keith Lentin is suggesting physical violence against me may be appropriate, consistent with his earlier threats suggesting “outing” civil servants and the use of “street justice”.

Keith’s earlier threats:

Text of Lee’s Message Above

This is an update and goodbye for a while as a condition of all cases moving forward…. I will be taking down my Facebook and YouTube channel for a while …

.

I will be seeing my K… starting very soon after 6months mind you given all the help I requested from the proper agencies to prosecute those involved in my wife’s murder…. Instead their response was what everyone watched on Memorial Day … In an effort to keep me silent in the same manner they have in the past my family became hostages rather than the actual criminals prosecuted … Our evidence was viewed and more and more people/officials obstructed Justice to further silence Shayling Kenworthy all recorded… Criminals only get away with it for so long as justice does not sleep nor will it continue where police and those entrusted to protect and serve including children services will be allowed to get away with perjury falsifying reports to suit their agendas and profit off of the public … as well as murdering mothers fathers and our children across the country at ever increasing rates of absurdity terrorizing communities of color and ethnicity hiding behind fear you are in fact inflicted upon us all as we see and are ripped apart by the discrimination hate and lack of concern for our safety and lives …

.

Warriors of justice like Shayling Kenworthy and the rest of us will accept nothing less than transparency and accountability for those we trust our lives to … They will all be exposed and the truth revealed Shayling Kenworthy will be heard and seen our children Shaylings parents my whole entire family needs to heal and justice being served is our starting point …. That is under way …. To those involved who are coming to my families corner joining us in our fight I am humbled and truly honored to have you at our side and at the helm as we move towards justice for Shayling Kenworthy .

Thank you Everyone who has been here for us and to everyone who has seen our story shared it and gotten involved…

– Lee Kenworthy

– November 9, 2018

Bwahahahaaha! Always the secrets; always the best news is yet to come! Bwahahahaha!

Update November 17, 2018

Bwahahahahaha! Shara Cronkite really doesn’t like me scooping her! This time in my simply noting that the defendants in the Lee Kenworthy wrongful death suit notified the Court of their intentions to file motions to dismiss, with prejudice, and with costs (one defendant asking for more time simply to respond; likely also with a motion to dismiss).

Briefs for dismissal in the Kenworthy wrongful death suit. Nothing from Shara about these. They may be ruled on later this month.

Update December 4, 2018

Sounds like Shara is still reeling over her blundering of that recent Berlin, NJ “stand-off” case. Go to Shara’s link below for complete comments. Screenshot below is posted to reflect how Shara is still Shara; ticked off and always promising a story somewhere, sometime in the future, and conspicuously leaving out and specific reference to anything I am reporting that she claims is “fake news”.

The Housing Authority has now filed its motion for dismissal in the wrongful death suit, a copy of which is found at the link below:

Update December 6, 2018

Bwahahahaha! Shara Cronkite and Freedom Public Press try to cover up their blundering with a post today (shown below). Link to the post is shown below followed by a link to an earlier report I filed in one of my FaceBook groups.

Update December 23, 2018

Go to following link for clear copy of graphic below and comments section for comments following opening post:

Update December 25, 2018

SHARA CRONKITE invited me to a one-on-one written exchange of ideas on one or more topics of mutual interest, but she has run off to engage in other matters rather than openly, honestly complete the negotiations appropriate to properly producing the proposed event.

.

So, I have just posted, twice, the message below to Shara’s latest thread on her page found at the following link:

I have made a number of suggestions for the proposed discussion, but Shara has yet to seriously propose her own subjects if she is going to reject mine.

.

The following post reflects yet another suggestion from me.

.

Update December 26, 2018

On December 25,2018 Shara let us know that she was getting some time with her child, just a little time, on Christmas Day. She called it “shared parenting”, but apparently her share of the parenting time, in the presence of her child, isn’t a very big share. Maybe we’ll hear more of Shara’s own custody issues considering she is so interested in talking about others’ custody issues.

.

Update December 28, 2018

SHARA CRONKITE – MARRIED?

.

Some will recall that Lee Kenworthy recently mentioned in an interview with Shara that she was married and that he knew her husband and that he was a nice guy.

.

Shara was quick to correct him after the interview in the posting comments attached thereto; claiming she was not married.

.

Since that time at least 2 others have referenced Shara’s husband without any disclaimer and today someone specifically asked Shara if she was married, in the thread at Shara’s place linked below.

I didn’t notice where Shara followed with any disclaimer, and so I waited, and waited, and then had an opportunity to ask her about it and she responded as follows in the screenshot below.

.

It’s another fine example of why Shara is not a worthy correspondent; she can’t even openly and honestly handle the simplest of matters. It suggests the prospects of having a serious, productive discussion with her is not likely, and most of the banter on her page is also further evidence of that.

Update January 7, 2019

Shara decides to change tactics and puts it off on her lawyer and the police. Link to her thread is:

The above change in course followed shortly the following post by Shara, after which she got some complaints and either deleted it, hid it, or Mark Zuckerberg’s people removed it, for cause. Link while post remained was:

Sharon again suggests she is married, but we still are waiting for the public announcement regarding the marriage and related details (though it may never come).

UPDATE JANUARY 18, 2019

Shara is now claiming she’s married after recently denying she was when Lee Kenworthy referred to her marriage and said good things about her husband.

Shara has now cryptically referred to a musician she knows that had his ex-wife commit him. Was Shara referring to Keith Lentin, her current husband?

.

UPDATE January 21, 2019

In recent days Shara has been claiming she’s married; supposedly, recently to Keith Lentin. Today Shara posted messages indicating she has found a new child custody cause to promote and Keith Lentin has indicated that he and Shara do not agree on whether or not there be a God.

Interesting! The link to Shara’s thread is below and the screenshot was taken at 5:35 PM MT today.

I have been advised that Shara lived in this mobile home part until 2014. No further details were suggested.

Update February 11, 2019

Shara’s New FaceBook Page

Update February 13, 2019

SHARA CRONKITE has promised some update on the Kenworthy family story if we can just “stay tuned” long enough for her to figure out what it’s going to be and tell us.

.

In the meantime, my agents have been working around the clock and have started filing their reports providing updates on THE SHARA/SHARON STORY!

.

So, pending confirmation or denial from SHARA or corroboration from my agents, here’s more of her story as has been reported to me.

.

Did you ever wonder why Shara looks the way she does?

.

One my agents who also moonlights as a medical doctor, has examined the image below and a few others, and has concluded that Shara might have LUPUS, and that she might have had it for quite awhile.

.

If so, Shara might have been and still is on Social Security Disability, and with her son would have what, $1,500.00 or so a month in tax free income.

.

Other agents have reported that Shara’s reported marriage to Keith Lentin would be her 3rd, with Jay Ira Austin being the preceding one which resulted in the child she now claims.

.

My agents did not report the identity of her supposed first husband.

.

Reportedly, Shara’s alimony from Jay Austin ended a couple of years ago and may have amounted to about $1,200.00 per month.

.

I remember that, regarding Shara’s alleged run-in with CPS regarding her son, Shara talked about asthma and a policeman without giving the true details as to what that was all about.

.

One of my super sleuths came up with a report that the reason CPS became involved was because a mandated reporter, like a doctor, reported to CPS his concerns about Shara’s son’s mental health as might have been affected by what was going on in the family.

.

Just as so many family/father rights advocates have proposed, it does appear that Shara, according to field reports, has 50-50 custody of her son with Jay Austin.

.

If you can “stay tuned”, there may be more to report as to the details as well as Shara’s confirmation, denial, contribution.

.

Oh yeah, consistent with the Lupus/SSDI rumor, it was reported that Shara has never had a real job as that term might be commonly understood.

.

Oh yeah, apparently it is known by the locals who were there that the Jay v. Shara divorce was quite a circus and that, while pleading poverty for purposes of getting what she could out of Jay, Shara was making regular trips to New York to do what she does/did with Keith Lentin. I don’t know; maybe Jay just didn’t go for the “open marriage” thing with Keith; if that is what was going on as far as Shara and Keith were concerned. If there were domestic violence issues as one report suggests, maybe it was because Jay had trouble dealing with Shara’s and Keith’s relationship.

.

I report.

You decide.

.

,

.

.

.

Update February 14, 2019

Shara & her boyfriend Lee appear to be becoming more threatening towards me and others!

.

Update February 19, 2019

.

Update February 28, 2019

Buried in a thread on Shara’s page at the following link is the following post from Shara. I think it’s part of her false narrative, but does include some kernals of truth. On those issues, however, Shara leaves out more than she tells us.

Update March 30, 2019

Regarding Shara’s marital history:

Update April 14, 2019

Shara set up a FaceBook page under the name of FreedomPublicPress., but it didn’t last long. She appears to have had trouble with being open and honest in reporting what she knows about the issues she claims to have an interest in, and she couldn’t handle the critics.

Shara has retreated to her personal page where she has limited comments. Whether she will ever have updates/lives of substance remains to be seen.

Still no documentation of any substantive details regarding all of that.

The Jay Austin 2019 Bankruptcy

I think Jay’s bankruptcy offers support for my speculation that Shara benefited substantially from Jay choosing to support Shara in a certain manner instead of meet his other financial responsibilities.

Jay also claims Shara’s child, Joseph Austin, lives with him and is his dependent! See screenshot below:

Shara’s Own Bankruptcy from 2014

Update May 5, 2019

It has become more evident that Shara and her husband were living large on borrowed money they did not intend to repay and taxes they didn’t pay, and who knows what else.

Shara has now admitted, implicitly, that she helped hide cash in exempt property (i.e., a trailer house, address noted above in Shara’s bankruptcy document) instead of using the funds to pay creditors.

UPDATE May 12, 2019

After much contention and many broadcasts over the last few days, finally some progress is being reported.

Update May 13, 2019

.

Update May 16, 2019

Lots been going on with Lee Kenworthy seemingly engaged in never-ending live FaceBook broadcast demonstrating he has mental and drug problems that are not being properly addressed. Shara has yet to publish a formal statement regarding her situation as Lee has taken to attacking her now, in addition to many others; of which, Heather Christensen and Cally Esposito have obtained Temporary Restraining Orders against Lee and are due back in Court on May 20, 2019 to have the status of those determined. Maybe Lee will show up for that, maybe not.

Update May 27, 2019

Shara is back in the game and today, May 27, 2019, has made the following announcement:

Update June 1, 2019

Shara didn’t pull off the above as indicated, but she is slogging on with her antics. Go to her page for that. This update has to do with the rumor that she has Lupus. The following is evidence that that may be the case and Lupus may be a factor in her claiming Social Security Disability and receiving a government check.

Update September 2, 2019

Maybe this will resolve the age issue that Shara has been so reluctant to admit to:

Comments

“Shara Michelle” & “Freedom Public Press” — 4 Comments

The public has been increasingly interested in finding out the complete details of “The Shara Michelle” story but details have been hard to come by because Shara has been doing a pretty good job of “covering her tracks”, refusing to talk, and otherwise hampering the telling of her story.
.
I’ve begun the project as archived at:
.http://kehvrlb.com/shara-michelle-freedom-public-press
.
One are of increasing concern of the public is what Shara might be hiding with her often expressed protests about her story being told, denial of any wrongdoing, and claim to be oh so “squeaky clean” as far as her record is concerned.
.
Most recently it has been reported that Elizabeth Ann Wolf and Jennifer Ruth Nucci are sisters and that their mother, who happened to look a lot like Shara, died in 2002. It was also reported that Shara and Elizabeth, together, bought and later sold shortly thereafter a small, cheap co-op apartment in Florida (not far from one of the addresses used by Jennifer).
.
Jennifer has quite a history, and it is not known just how intertwined it might have been with Shara’s history.
.
Jennifer has at least two FaceBook pages where her history is somewhat reported and for more details you can Google her. She seems to most recently have been successful in moving on from her troubles, but she seems to have plenty of troubles that may or may not relate to whatever it is Shara does not want anyone finding out about.
.
If “The Shara Michelle” story is to be adequately told, Shara will have to change her mind on cooperating or we are going to need some informants.
.
One of Shara’s reported ex-husband’s, Jay Austin, appears to be as much of a “spook” as Shara, but some details, that Shara doesn’t want to talk about, have been revealed. It is hard to imagine, for instance, that Shara did not materially benefit from Jay’s reported failure to timely pay over $200,000.00 in federal income taxes.
.
Oh yeah, “we” are still waiting to confirm what Shara was talking about when she boasted of having received 5 Billboard Awards; in songwriting as I recall.
.
There’s also that odd relationship with Keith Lentin that appears to have been romantic and may have included the same time frame in which she was married to Jay Austin.
.
“Squeaky clean?”
Saying it don’t make it so.
I am having trouble finding the confirmation.
.
That my report for now.
Maybe I’ll have more to report later.
Maybe not.
.
.

LEE KENWORTHY STORY UPDATE:
.
Update taken from an extensive off camera interview dated July 2018~
.
I am “setting the record straight” for Mr Baty and the public, regarding his reporting a web of misinformation against the Kenworthy family, while claiming to have journalistic integrity and accuracy.
.
Regarding the “Housing Authority/Housing Allowance Case” and your reporting under your false narrative, here are the true facts:
.
Your statements: “Housing Allowance” implies the Kenworthy family was receiving government assistance, on our tax dollar, for their living situation.
.
This is not accurate.
.
The housing authority case was a civil rights, EMPLOYMENT, JOB discrimination, wrongful termination case. Lee Kenworthy was hired and employed as a live in super intendent for the housing authority of Bergen County.
.
Shayling and Lee Kenworthy were outstanding parents with a combined annual income of over 100k.
.
The complaint also states, Mr Kenworthy and his family were discriminated against, attacked and wrongfully terminated.
.
Those are the facts in the Kenworthy V. Housing Authority of Bergen County case.
.
In July 2018, during this interview, Lee posed the question:
.
“Why in the world would two political activists/whistle
blowers, ever take a state position?”
.
Another fact for the public:
.
Shayling and Lee Kenworthy were dealing with another “false” Children’s Social Services investigation case at the exact same time that they accepted the position with the housing authority of Bergen County.
.
All documented fact.
.
Lee started the position in December 2014, the same month his children were returned, and court litigation for the Children’s Social Services was closed and dismissed within the week after he started the position.
.
Connect the dots.
.
During this interview dated July, 2018, Lee posed the question:
.
“Coincidence, or an avenue for their beloved
children’s return and their continual silence”
.
Mr Baty, you continue your false reporting following your false narrative as you can see by the above documented facts, your reporting is far from accurate.
.
This statement is for the record. I have
.
10 hours of off video, previous interviews with Mr Lee Kenworthy
.
and
.
documents to match his statements.
.
Freedom Public Press~
